According to various rumors that have appeared on NeoGAF and other websites, it looks like United Front Games is shutting down. Who are United Front Games? Well, the makers of Sleeping Dogs among other games! One of the post from a well-known insider said:
Starting to leak out now.
Big ups to my friends and former colleagues, it’s a tough go of it in the independent studio space.
I’ll raise a pork bun this week in your honour.
What this means for franchises like Sleeping Dogs is unknown at this point. They might be canned or they might go to order studios. We’ll see. Until then, we can just hope. We’ll update you as soon as we know more.
